I should be completely safe for 48 month rule? Or should I wait until April.
Since I do not have any plans to air travel for 10+ months, should I wait and apply for CSP at the end of 2021?
(disclaimer- there IS NO 100k offer on CSR of course- and it's unlikely there will be- because it's an INSANELY better offer than the 80 CSP one as we'll see below- it was only ever available at card intro and has never come back and is unlikely to do so- but if there was-)
$300 travel credit (usable for groceries and stuff right now) on CSR
$60 (twice) Doordash credit usable for food on CSR.
$100 GE/TSA credit on CSR
That's $520 in benefits.
(There's even more benefits than that, but most are travel related so let's pretend those aren't worth anything right now)
So $75 net higher cost for 20,000 UR points.
20k UR at worth at least $200.... $300 using PYB on a CSR in fact (again more potentially for travel)
Meaning the CSR would have you $225 ahead of the CSP in your example.
Also, if you do it right, you can use that $300 credit twice for one annual fee... so now you're $525 ahead of the CSP.
(and if travel does open up later this year/early next, the value via the CSR is potentially even higher for lounge access, higher value on points in the travel portal, etc).
It doesn't take rocket science, just understanding the full benefits of the cards.
